[ED ISSUE] Waypoint inpu via UFC changes coordinates on its own

[jwbflyer]

I enter a waypoint coordinate correctly:

 

Input coord-

N42 10 51

E042 27 52 

 

system changes it to-

N42 10 50

E042 27 52

 

In a CAS scenario, with only coordinates for BOC CAS, this leads to a miss with minor damage and requires the pilot to acquire the target with tpod.

Yes. Rounding errors are DCS core issue and cannot be resolved.
Having said that, the errors are very small. 1 or 2 arc seconds

 

The problem is that they compound:
1. Is the rounding error from converting the coordinate you wrote into a number DCS can use.
2. The rounding error of converting lat/long into the x,y,z coordinates used by the maps.

 

Marking as ED ISSUE and moving to RESOLVED
